Well, it's got some very rare parts fitted - including:
- brand new 36 mm PMO carburettors
- Porsche Turbo rear struts
- Carbon12 rear turbo tie rod ends
Sounds like whoever carried out the restoration fitted the front suspension at the rear by mistake !!

'in paint for 6 months' - they must have had a really small brush...

I think it is missing a comma, has carbon 12 rear callipers and turbo tie rods

What Sam said particularly in the states where the S&P is near record highs again the classic car market will hold until that dumps

I assumed/realised that Wayne but I just hate trade adverts where they don't bother to check their facts or proof-read their descriptions ...

I quite like it too but I think this one has been on for sale for an age now. A friend of mine was contemplating it pre lockdown from memory.

Personal taste, but just TOO LOUD visually and much of the paint shop time (airbrushed?!) is wasted, but just my take.
I like quiet looking road cars.

Agreed - I saw this car being painted and what struck me was that going down the route of having airbrushed/painted stripes and logos immediately means the car is going to be judged alongside the likes of Mike's Targa Florio rep. And there is no comparison. A lot of effort to achieve a look which, to me, in this case could have been achieved with vinyl...

Doesn't look right to me, the front end too short? / drop after the front arch, the windscreen surround, the line over the rear wheels. Not £159k right anyway.
I've got a photo of me sitting in a 962 as a boy in the late 80s in Bexleyheath shopping centre of all places - no idea why it was there. I was queuing up with a load of other kids to sit in and as I got to the front of the queue the guy said no more, but my Dad said I was really into Porsches and they let me climb in. Explains a lot anyway...
Could be a modified Ultima?

Interesting history with the engine. I wonder how they managed to track it down.

Lovely looking car with lots of history and huge amounts of work done. Be interesting to see how it does in the auction!
